I had an interesting day. I FINALLY got to spend some time working with my new boss. She's pretty dang cool. She's been gone a lot since I started so I hadn't really had an opportunity to bond with her yet. We were laughing and joking and having fun today. I also had a sweet moment with Nate. He had some great sales early on in the day, two huge sets of furniture with assembly and protection packages. We were all telling him nice job over the walkies, then later Spencer says over the walkie, "Jenn, I know you like to know when freight is done and with some serious help from Nate we have all the tech freight put away." I said, "Great job guys and is it just me or is Nate EXTRA super whammy awesome today?" Ashlee (my boss) gets on the walkie and says, "Nate is awesome every day." and I said, "I know, that's why I added in the extra super whammy part because he seems to be even more awesome than usual with his sales AND helping get freight done early." She agreed. Later on Nate said to me, "Did you really mean what you said about me earlier?" and I said, "Of course I did, even Ashlee agreed." He said, "Thanks, I really appreciate that because the other managers don't really give out a lot of thanks or compliments for the work we do." I said, "Well, get used to it because I do. With me around, your hard work will not go unnoticed or unappreciated, nor will anyone else's cuz that's the way I roll." (insert sassy tone and head gesture from the word cuz on) Then we laughed. Then as an evening topper, Ken and Nate had me squirting tears of laughter over their Edward impersonations. Too funny. Edward is one of the assistant managers.
On another note, I did something evil yet gratifying tonight. I stole something from my neighbor. We had a new neighbor move in to one of the apartments around the corner. He owns a toyota spyder and a motorcycle. He seems to think that it is legal, ethical and his right to block off the public street parking in front of his apartment with traffic cones when he is using his car. The mission district in SF is notorious for it's lack of viable street parking. That behavior is selfish, un-neighborly and rude not to mention NOT legal. Many of the people in these few blocks have been here for over 10 years. He's been here for about a month. NOT COOL. Anyway, I stole his traffic cones while I was walking home from where I parked. AND I plan to keep stealing them if he gets new ones. Now I just need to figure out a way to sabotage the toyota matrix/subaru wagon couple that moved in down our block that use one car to take up two spaces so they can move and park when they get home....
I'm thinking F.U. parking pig on the driver's door with super wide sharpie marker might come in to play....
Don't think me entirely evil, sharpie will eventually come off clearcoat, takes a lot of elbow grease but it does come off and does not permanently harm the surface. However, they probably don't know that....
) It's a really uncomfortable feeling in my right leg, the one that's constantly pressing the accelerator pedal. And yes, bracing myself on the seat and floor and sort of lifting my butt off the seat (so, bending my lower back forward) helps.
